Made this for one of my staff assistants as a thank you/happy holiday gift. We do a lot of crafting around here and she has helped with that a lot. Thought this mug craft was perfect. I was kinda just going with the design. Not as pretty as I would have liked it to be, but I know I am picky. Typically I use oil based sharpies. You may have seen those in previous posts.
This time I used Martha Stewart Paint. I used the glass type because it has a pointed nib that makes drawing on dishware and decor a bit easier. You cure the paint by leaving it for 21 days or you can bake. Here are the instrcutions I pulled from plaidonline
Paint is permanent after air drying for 21 days or can be baked to expedite permanence.
Bake-to-Cure Method
- Allow painted glass project to dry at least one hour. Make sure the paint is dry to the touch before baking.
- Place project in a cool oven.
- Set oven to 350° F and bake for 30 minutes. Turn oven off.
- Allow glass project to cool down in the oven to room temperature, then remove.
Care Instructions
Project can be Hand washed, or cleaned in the top rack of a standard, non-commercial dishwasher. Do not use in dishwasher if it has pot scrubbing features or top jets.
Please note: Fine Glitter Glass Paint, Glitter Craft Paint and Coarse Glitter Craft Paint cannot be baked and must air dry for 21 days for permanence.
